  <about><![CDATA[            Sherry Maroon grew up in the state of Michigan where she currently resides with her husband, Joe, and their son, Christian. 
            
            She earned her bachelors degree in accounting, which is her current career choice.  In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, writing, reading, and enjoying the sun during the summer months.

            Inspired by her mother, Sherry has enjoyed writing since she learned how to use quotation marks.  Her first story, at a very young age, was of two ants meeting together in a picnic area.  Since then, she wrote short, silly stories for her friends in high school and continued on to write adult novels for her family’s entertainment.  It wasn’t until her son developed a love of reading and insisted he read her work that she decided to venture onto writing for children.  She now has a number one fan…her son.
